Everton host in-form Leicester City this afternoon at Goodison Park and the ECHO's team of Dave Prentice and Greg O'Keeffe will be present to provide live updates and analysis.

Ronald Koeman's men have been depleted by injuries, but they will be looking to close the gap on Manchester United in sixth place.

Team news

Everton will hope to have Morgan Schneiderlin back after a calf problem, but Koeman is expected to field a number of young players with the likes of Ashley Williams, Ramiro Funes Mori and Seamus Coleman missing from defence.

James McCarthy and Aaron Lennon are also unavailable.

Leicester will be without captain Wes Morgan and midfielder Papy Mendy.

Koeman: "We are fighting for European football. I expect if we get six points from our next two home games, we will fight for fifth and sixth place in the table.

Craig Shakespeare: "It'll be a tough game. They're a good side, strong at home, well organised and have a goal threat too."
